NON-INVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF LIVER FIBROSIS IN THE POPULATION WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES AND METABOLIC DYSFUNCTION-ASSOCIATED STEATOTIC LIVER DISEASE
Introduction and Objectives
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, with a global prevalence of 55,5% among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D and obesity are the cardiometabolic risk factors that significantly influence the natural history of MASLD, increasing the risk of fibrosis progression, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Non-invasive tests (NITs) are recommended for fibrosis screening and can help predict the risk of liver-related outcomes in populations at risk for MASLD.
To evaluate the non-invasive tests for detecting liver fibrosis and to assess the association between liver fibrosis and progression predictors in the population with diabetes and MASLD.
Materials and Methods
Prospective, cross-sectional, observational study included adults aged 18-75 with T2D from a tertiary hospital. All participants provided informed consent. Noninvasive assessment of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis were performed using ultrassonography and transient elastography. Data were analyzed using R with the non-parametric Mann-Whitney or Wilcoxon tests, and a significance level of p < 0.05 was adopted.
Results
This study included 96 patients. Of these, 62 (64.5%) had steatohepatitis, 29 (30.2%) had significant fibrosis (F≥ 2) and 13 (13.5%) had advanced fibrosis (F≥ 3) as determined by elastography. Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) was the only serum biomarker that showed a statistically significant correlation with the presence of fibrosis (p = 0.00997).
Conclusions
In our study population with diabetes, the most reliable non-invasive predictor of fibrosis, as assessed by elastography, was elevated GGT levels.
